Test Drive Porsche Cayenne S since 2010 SUV

Turn the land

First acquaintance with Diesel V8 Porsche Cayenne S Diesel.


In order to move a 200-ton aircraft, the VW Touareg SUV in 2006 was enough 750 Nm of torque, which developed its Diesel Motor V10. But when the newest Motor V8 on the Diesel Porsche Cayenne S collapses its 850 Newton meters to all four wheels, it seems that there is still a little bit and they will check the Earth under them.

Where did Porsche come from a diesel V8?
To the All-Volkswagen eight-cylinder diesel in Porsche, seemed to have looked closely for a long time. Motor is good: 340 horsepower, 800 nm of torque. Such an engine is now placed on VW Touareg SUVs, AUDI Q7 and A8 sedans. In addition, this is the last diesel V8 from Germany competitors from BMW and Mercedes-Benz have already moved to four and six-cylinder units.

A more worthy engine for installation for Kayen and come up with a difficult version with a six-cylinder diesel engine on his background now looks like a rustic guy from a farm.

But Porsche engineers would not be engineers of Porsche, if they were not modified by the general corporate motor under themselves.


Outwardly, diesel Cayenne S is no different from the same name of the gasoline fellow, with the exception of the Diesel nameplates on the body. From which, however, can and refuse

Before installing on Cayenne S, Diesel V8 received upgraded pistons, increased by 0.2 bar (up to 2.9 bar) Pressure pressure, as well as more productive intercoolers from 550-strong Cayenne Turbo S and a new outlet system with separate contours for each row V --Fashion eight. After these simple improvements, the 4.2-liter diesel engine on Porsche Cayenne S has become 42 horsepower more powerful (382 hp), and its moment has increased to 850 nm. This is only 150 nm less than a six-liter superdizer V12 on Audi Q7!


1. Cayenne can either love, or hate: there are too many buttons, switches and regulators. But the quality of the finish is the highest
2. Tits-Stopwatch Part Sport Chrono
3. Involutions of the driver's seat will allow convenient to get a driver of almost any complex
4. Automatic eight-step. Around the selector of the chassis and transmission settings
5. Seats and its own deflectors are available.

And how does the diesel Porsche Cayenne S goes?
Very worthy! From scratch to a hundred kilometers per hour, Diesel Cayenne S accelerates for the same 5.7 seconds, as the charged version of Cayenne GTS with 420-strong gasoline eight under the hood, yielding only the flagship Cayenne Turbo and Turbo S. But the main thing is, how loud He does it!

At idle, diesel V8 Gulko and Multi-Roma murmurs, and under the tight bubbles and bouffags with the sound of a giant, suddenly thoroughly rinse the throat!

From the dynamics of diesel Cayenne S, though, in the eyes, it does not darken the spectacular overclocking spoils and a small hitch at the start, and too fussy shift of the gear in the bowels of the eight-stage AISIN automaton. Even in sports mode, the transmission electronics gives the command to increase the transfer for 4000 turns. As the Porsche engineers say, it is done for greater efficiency: after this mark, the diesel is just noticeably skiing.

But in the other modes of the movement of claims to the machine zero. In Drive, the transmission changes the steps gently and imperceptibly, and in sports with tangible jesters, but in a timely manner.


Porsche pendants seem to be enjoyed by magic: heavy and high Porsche Cayenne S with diesel V8 is ideally assembled on the hinge highway and on the road with mediocre covering

It is also impressive that despite the increased mass and Cayenne S Diesel turned out to be 140 kilograms heavier than the ordinary squea of \u200b\u200ba diesel SUV is controlled as well as his gasoline fellow. The mechatronic chassis with a pneumatic suspension saves surprisingly comfortable elasticity even in the most severe mode, silently painting with the irregularities of any shapes and sizes. The sensitivity to the microproprofile of the roadbed, however, is slightly viable, but this is the expected payback for the such columnsity and the mobility that shows a high mass weighing 2.2 tons.


In the all-wheel drive transmission on the diesel Cayenne S, an electronically controlled multidisk coupling is used as on Cayenne S and Cayenne Turbo gasoline versions. As an option is available and active rear differential PVT Plus

Rolls, despite the lack of active stabilizers, for which under the bottom of the diesel Cayenne S, simply did not find the place, are small. The steering wheel is informative and is so much so that even on the narrow rural roads of Austria, where our test drive passed, you can easily control the dimensions and the trajectory of the SUV, driving around with the oncoming trucks in a few millimeters.

On the mountain serpentines covered with autumn frost, on Cayenne S Diesel makes it even slightly to lose weight: Under the burden, this Mahina willingly slides, and the stabilization system does not interfere with it immediately, giving the driver the opportunity to adjust light skid, without waiting for help from the electronics side.

So if your experience with diesel SUVs is limited to acquaintance with Japanese pickups or economical four-cylinder crossovers, this Cayenne will turn your idea of \u200b\u200bhow cars can drive on diesel.


Maximum 850 Nm of torque The new diesel displays in a very narrow range from 2000 to 2750 revolutions. However, even 4000 turns per minute the motor develops 650 nm traction

But why do diesel, if there is a real gasoline V8?
Then, that with the best dynamics and the same handling of the diesel will be much more economical. Even according to the passport data, Cayenne S Diesel in a mixed cycle consumes a quarter less fuel than a gasoline SUV: 8.3 liters versus 10.5. And in the city cycle, the difference will be at least one and a half!

In addition, the diesel SUV can not be equipped worse than gasoline. Mighty carbon-ceramic brakes are available for surcharge, although in most cases there are enough basic hexorrheal front with disks with a diameter of 360 millimeters and four-position with 330-millimeter discs behind the rear; And Sport Chrono package with a beautiful stopwatch on the front panel, counting the circle time on the track. And together with the new Diesel, the entire model range of Cayenne will receive a number of new options, including a multimedia complex with a hard disk, adaptive cruise control with emergency braking function, smart headlight lights and road sign recognition system.


Price from 4.3 million for basic modifications. Digging in the configurator, this figure can be easily brought to 4.8-5 million rubles. But still it is cheaper than 500-strong Porsche Cayenne Turbo, prices for which starts from 6.68 million rubles.

And most importantly, it is, of course, a crazy traction, which develops a diesel V8 on Cayenne S, and his sound. So if someone is able to turn the earth with their wheels, then only he.
